Who is Sidekicker

Sidekicker is Australia and New Zealand’s leading on-demand staffing platform with backing from the world’s leading employment marketplace SEEK.  We are redefining the way businesses hire and manage their casual and temporary workforce. Since 2012 Sidekicker has launched in six cities across Australia and New Zealand, and now services over 2,000 businesses, from SME’s right through to some of the world's most recognised brands including Uber, Crown and Spotless.

Over 10,000 pre screened and approved Sidekicks are already operating on the platform, last month completing over 5,000 shifts. As the gig economy continues to expand we want to provide these Sidekicks (and more!) with a new and innovative way to take control over their work life.

 

Being a General Manager at Sidekicker

The key to Sidekicker’s success is our city teams, led by a General Manager.  We almost treat each city like a separate start-up within Sidekicker, and as General Manager you own the growth of that city start-up. General Manager’s are responsible for developing local brand awareness, driving sales efforts, optimising the customer experience, managing marketplace operations in city, and managing the supply of local sidekicks.  

 

What you’ll do;

  • Identify, close and implement large deals: large clients have complex sales cycles with C-Level decision makers, you will need to own the senior relationships and drive these deals

  • Initiate and develop local marketing campaigns: build community engagement and expedite the pace of adoption among mid-market customers

  • Manage your marketplace: know your has cities numbers (revenue, shifts, completion rates, maus, average spend and more) and be obsessed about improving them

  • Lead a City Team: lead, manage and develop your multi-functional city team (sales, customer experience and candidate supply)

  • Work closely with HQ: ensure that lessons learnt at the NZ level are communicated across all cities and implemented effectively

 

Who you are;

  • A problem solver; You embrace challenges and stop at nothing to create solutions. Whether it be implementing short term workarounds or implementing longer term process improvements.

  • Commercially astute: You can combine data, metrics and commercial acumen to make smart decisions with (often) imperfect information

  • A networker and relationship builder: You can network with senior executives in your city to identify and drive strategic / tier one deals  

  • A natural communicator: You will be responsible for “pitching” Sidekicker to senior decision makers, and moving deals through customer buying processes

  • A dedicated leader: You can lead an (often) junior team in an industry “under construction”,  you will provide structure, accountability and direction

  • Persistent: You can work in a fast paced environment and things will not be easy. You will need to meet challenges head on and find ways to always improve your city.

 

What you need

  • At least 5 years of consulting, finance, sales/business development, marketing or well funded start-up experience.

  • Commercial problem solving and/or analytics experience

  • Proven track record in building relationships with senior decision makers

  • An entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to operate in unstructured environments.  

 

What you’ll love about working at Sidekicker

  • Highly motivated, hard-working and talented co-workers in a fun office environment

  • Ground floor opportunity in a fast growing, well funded, innovative startup

  • Competitive salary with performance bonuses
